Tibetan Soul Healing - Tse Dup Yang Bod Certification Training 2027
with Lopon Lumo Woekar (Tania Smith)
Tse means life force Dup means to intensify Yang means the highest essence of the soul energy, Bod means to retrieve through dedicated practice
Tse Dup Yang Bod is a very deep and comprehensive Tibetan healing practice from a 7th century Tibetan Bon text written by Lama Tsewang Rigzin. Known as a high tantric enlightenment practice, it was given to him in meditation by the enlightened dakini Thuk Je Kundrol. It is known as a longevity practice for balancing and strengthening the vitality of the soul & life force and life span energies which can be performed for oneself as a daily practice or for the healing benefit of others. All participants that complete the 3 year program with all requirements will be certified as a Tibetan Tse Dup Soul Healer (Drup Shen).
For us to be happy, healthy and able to manifest our life well in all the different areas, we must have a balanced energy system. Due to stress, trauma or disease our energies become blocked resulting in soul loss and a decreased life force. Signs of soul loss are increasing obstacles in every aspect of our life including depression, bad luck or long standing chronic illness.
This form of healing helps us to connect to the five powerful elemental energies that are the very fabric of our existence. The universal energy that runs through everything including our bodies. Understanding this intricate dance of earth, wind, fire, water and space, helps us to balance and purify the energies of mind, body and spirit for healing, spiritual growth and self awareness.
In this three year program you will learn to build five unique energies and channel them through your palms for deep soul healing through balancing the energy of 5 major organs and systems in the body, each strengthening a unique spiritual “wisdom” and decreasing negative emotions known as “poisons”. You will also learn divinations to understand how the healing is being received, space clearing and house blessing as well as powerful mantras which help strengthen all aspects of life. As you progress through the program purifying body, speech and mind, your meditation and sense of purpose will deepen as you expand your self awareness and intuition. As you move deeper into the program and fulfill energetic requirements your healing energy will increase as your energy body becomes stronger and more resilient against all forms of negative energy. This strength and resilience is what allows you to send powerful healing energy to others and perform hands on healing sessions.
This complete energetic program prepares the healer to assist in every way, with any issue including practices to assist the dying. Participants who complete the whole training will be given the lineage empowerment and certified as Drup Shen, Tse Dup Soul Healers, and will be able to perform healing sessions on behalf of others in accordance with the Tibetan Bon tradition and lineage.
This is a three year program. All attendees who complete the three year program with all practice requirements will be certified as Drup Shen (Soul Healers) and will be able to perform healing sessions for others.

Tania studied Tse Dup with Geshe Chongtul Rinpoche for five years and was given the lineage empowerment by His Holiness Menri Trizen 33rd of Menri Monastery who was the spiritual head of the Bon for the world. She then took the 5 year training again to deepen her knowledge even more while beginning to teach it to others.
Geshe Chongtul Rinpoche gave her the spiritual name Lumo Woekar, the Tse Dup Healing robe and the Kar Mo Tse Gyal hat, and in 2025 she will began her 9th Tse Dup program after teaching it for 12 years.
Tania Smith is an authorized Tibetan Lopon & Drup Shen (Teacher & Healer) and has been given all lineage transmissions and empowerments in order to pass on these mantras according to the Tibetan Bon tradition. She was given the spiritual name Lumo Woekar by Chongtul Rinpoche and is the first non-Tibetan teacher in the United States to teach this healing practice from the Zhang Zhung Bön tradition according to his vision. She received the transmission and empowerment from His Holiness the 33rd Menri Trizin, spiritual head of the global Bön tradition, prior to his passing and one of the five principal spiritual lineage holders recognized within the Tibetan tradition alongside His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Lopon is a Tibetan title which means teacher and is a spiritual degree in the Tibetan Bon tradition equivalent to an M.A. in Tibetan Spirituality. In 2026 she will begin her 9th, 3-year Tse Dup program after teaching it for 12 years.
